Tips:
- Choose firm and fresh zucchini: Look for zucchinis that are deep green in color, unblemished, and firm to the touch.
- Use a spiralizer: A spiralizer is the best tool for creating zucchini noodles. It produces long, thin, and uniform noodles that cook evenly.
- Marinate the zucchini noodles: Marinating the zucchini noodles in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices enhances their flavor and makes them more tender.
- Cook the zucchini noodles briefly: Zucchini noodles cook very quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Cook them for just a few minutes, until they are tender-crisp.
- Add other vegetables and protein: Feel free to add other vegetables, such as bell peppers, carrots, or tomatoes, to your spiral zucchini salad. You can also add protein, such as grilled chicken or shrimp, to make it a more substantial meal.
- Serve immediately: Spiral zucchini salad is best served immediately after it is made. The zucchini noodles will start to soften and lose their texture if they sit for too long.
